Audacious, coffee addict with a propensity to open my mouth and forget to sugar coat what comes out. When I'm not daydreaming or writing, I'm busy living my story! Homeschooling, RV dwelling, writer, musician, wife, mother, and full time student describe a bit of my life but there's so much more to my story than that.
Pull up a chair and hang around for just a while and you're sure to find that though the details of out lives may be different, we are really very much the same. And If I could sit across from you for an hour of two and share a good cup of coffee I would mostly tell you that you are not the only one, and that you are not alone.
I think most of us have a desperate need just to be honest about life. To be free to be authentically who we are, nothing more.
This blog is my go at that.....

You can catch up on our “marriage story” here. “Tell me anything and everything. I want to know you, everything little about you. Even the secret corners of your heart that feels hardest to let be seen and known. I want to know those places most of all.” Fast forward to our 15th anniversary, February… Continue reading The Scandal of Grace {Tell Me Every Little Thing}

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! If I could sit for an hour or two and have coffee with you, these words written down here are much of what I would say. Mostly you would hear me say, "Me too. You are not crazy and you are definitely not the only one." It is my hope that these frail and honest words of mine wrap around your soul like a big ole' comfy blanket, and that you leave this space feeling a little more hope and encouragement.. and just a little less alone.
